- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO NEGOTIATE A SOLE-SOURCE CONTRACT The US Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisition Division, Simplified Acquisition Branch intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with HMK Consulting, Inc., 1340 NW 11th Street, Corvallis, OR 97330, using the procedures in FAR Part 13, to provide software maintenance for the web-based permit system for the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The NMFS, Permits, Conservation and Education Division, Silver Spring, MD, requires the maintenance and software support of the existing web-based permit application system which allows members of the public to submit, track and query applications and reports online. Continued use of the web-based permit system is critical for NMFS. The Authorizations and Permits for Protected Species (APPS) system is a vital component of the permitting process that NMFS must fulfill under the Marine Mammal protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. Permits are required under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) if one plans to conduct any activity including research, enhancement, or incidental harassment that may result in the taking of a threatened or endangered species, whether or not deliberate. The continued smooth operation of APPS is necessary to continue to support NMFS' protected species mission and its customers. As the designer and creator of APPS, HMK Consulting is the only qualified vendor to provide maintenance for the NMFS permit process, maintaining the existing software, incorporating the software to work with federal website requirements, as well as the needs and limitations of the APPS project. HMK is the original developer of the web based permit application system and its software components. They do not authorize other vendors to provide software maintenance, provide upgrades, bug fixes, or software patches. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), Only one responsible source. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) for this acquisition is 511210 with a business size standard of $38.5 Million. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotes. However, if any other interested party believes that it can meet the requirements, it may submit a statement of capabilities, which if timely received, will be considered by NOAA. A statement of capabilities must be received by 11:00am, August 10, 2015. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Evidence must be provided of ability to provide the required services. The capability statement and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NOAA to determine if the party can meet all of the requirements. Capability statements and related materials must be e-mailed to Natasha.Thieman@noaa.gov by 11:00am, August 10, 2015.
